Hi all,

I have been encountering a strange problem with my radio.(Futaba 3PRKA) I have used it for about a year and a half in my various nitro buggies. Recently I was breaking in a new engine and it started glitching really bad. I immediately picked up the car and shut it down to keep from a runaway with a brand new engine. I then just turned off the radio and turned it back on and it worked, for about a minute. Later, after taking the car apart for a pre race tear-down, I re bound the radio to the receiver. It worked, again for about 30 seconds. I then plugged in the receiver to my smaller 1/10 electric buggy and turned it on. It worked fine. No issues at all. I plugged it back into my nitro servos and blam its glitching again. I grabbed another RTR radio system I use as a back up, and plugged my servos into it. They worked with no trouble. I plugged in the Futaba and again it glitched. I did this process many times. My question is, Could the servos I have ( Protec 300t for both) be too strong for the radio? Could that be causing the glitching? Has anybody else had an issue with this? Thanks

anybody? Really need some help with this

So this TX/Rx combo has been working in the buggy with the Protek servos before? Or is this a new combo? What are you running for a receiver pack? Obviously checked and charged properly I hope...

Sounds like it could be a brownout, servos could be drawing an excess amount of juice from the receiver. Never heard of Protek 300T's before but whatever....they could be faulty internally. Different receiver, servos or maybe a $5 capacitor or "glitch buster" as some call it might fix the issue.

It has worked before. Battery is a Venom 2100mah stick lipo and it is charged. I dont know about the servo type. Just what the cases say on them. I think they are comparable to the 150t. Thanks for the advice. I will try it.

I've had the same issues with my spektrum/savox combos in the past. 1 way to get past it was to the glitch bluster as he says above. I run one in each of my cars now as a precaution. What I also found to be the issue was a bad receiver though as well.

Hmmmm. Its a fairly new receiver since I had one fry with a lipo fire in a 1/10th buggy
